Gesztenyepüré is one of Hungary's signature sweets and desserts, referring to a specific style of Chestnut Purée. It is a sweet and creamy delicacy, typically made from pureed sweet chestnuts combined with sugar and a hint of rum, traditionally extruded into strands and served with a generous dollop of whipped cream (tejszínhab). This dessert is a culinary staple in Hungary, especially during the colder months and holidays, and is often considered a "must-try" item for visitors seeking authentic Hungarian confectionery.
